AFROLYRICS
Based on the poetry collections of Lilián Pallares the Afrolyrics Theatre Company has developed a number of shows with the Colombian stage director Daniel Aguirre. They have worked with the musicians Álvaro Llerena Martínez, 'The Enchanted Drummer', Shangó Dely, William Carreazo, David Mesa, Denisse Ariza, Raúl Platz, Charles Olsen, Aboubaker Syla, Fabrice Virapatirin, Baye Nar Ndiaye, and the African dancer Marisa Camara, among others.

Some of the shows are designed for children and family audiences such as Cuentos Bajo el Sol (Stories in the Sun), Palabra Azul, poesía del agua (Blue Word, poetry of water), Tan Tan Poético (Poetic Tan Tan) and Afrolyrics, poesía a ritmo de tambor (Afrolyrics, poetry to the rhythm of the drum), while others are aimed at a more general, or adult, audience, such as Bestial and Afrolyrics, una historia de amor y tambor (Afrolyrics, a story of love and drums).

Entre las sombras de la vida hay horas (Between the shadows of life are hours) is a recital in which, accompanied by the cello Raúl Platz, the Colombian writers Carlos Granés and Lilian Pallares travel, from the end of the nineteenth century to the present, the essential moments of Colombian poetry.
